This feature currently includes Task Management, but will eventually include Goal Setting and Shift Management.

Projects
Projects track non-daily tasks that need to be completed in the store.
Potential Use Cases:
- Zoning
- Markdowns
- Cleaning Tasks
To create or edit a project:
- While in edit mode, click + ADD PROJECT
- Enter Project Name
- Assign a priority
- Optional:

Daily Checklist
The Daily Checklist replaces paper-based opening and closing task sheets.
To create or edit a checklist task:

- Optional:
- Add a Description
How it Works
- Tasks are automatically grouped by shift
- Employees check off tasks as completed
- Tasks reset each day

Rack Alerts
Rack Alerts are based on the information coming from the Rack Health Inventory Tool. These highlight the sections within your store that need the most attention because they are the emptiest and should be refilled.
Employees can replenish sections directly from the Home Page without needing to hop into the full inventory tool.
BaseCamp News
BaseCamp News provides updates from the franchise home office. These cannot be edited at the store level.
Notes
The Notes section allows users to record quick, shift-related information.
- Employees can add general notes
- Managers can add private notes (only visible to other managers)
Floor Sweep Timer
The Floor Sweep is a digital countdown to alert employees when they should perform a store walkthrough.
How it works:
- A timer displays at the top of the home screen
- The timer counts down from 15 minutes
- After reaching zero:
- The timer flashes red
- The timer begins counting upwards
Date Selection
The date selection feature allows you to view previous days' Comm Logs. You can only view one day at a time.
